The streets of London had some curious sites. This image just goes to show that the Boot Black Brigades, noted by their red jackets & hats were always working hard for their monies. But In reality, it was a very satirical image derived from a Bartlett Campbell play called The White Slave. The original image was an 1882 stereo view photo showing a similar flamboyant man without the banjo. This illustration is from a popular French magazine called L’illustraton. Great looking colorful metal sign too!Each tin sign is designed and made in the United States using 24 gauge American steel and a process known as sublimation, where the image is baked into a powder coating for a durable and long lasting finish. A vintaging process is then performed by hand to give these signs an aged look and feel. Each sign is drilled and riveted for easy hanging. All you need is 2 nails and a hammer!
